Solicitations by telemarketers are disruptive and a nuisance to daily life. Telemarketers are required to adhere to specific rules and restrictions under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). In fact, the law requires companies to get consumer's permission prior to using a robotic phone dialer and pre-recorded pre-recorded audio message!
What are Robocalls?
Robocalls are prerecorded or auto-dialed phone calls which are made to a person without consent. Companies that are using robocalls to sell products or services are usually in violation of federal law. The Federal Trade Commision (FTC), responsible for consumer protections, advises that most unsolicited robocalls are also likely scams. Reports of illegal robocalling are handled by numerous agencies, including FTC, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and telephone service providers!
What are Ring-less Voicemails?
Ringless voicemails are robocalls in which a pre-recorded audio message is placed in a voicemail inbox without a person's telephone ringing first.

Are Robocalls Illegal?
Some uses of robocalling are legal and do not violate consumer protection laws. Prerecorded calls from political campaigns, for example, are a legal use of robocalling. Businesses you have given permission to contact with offers may use robocalling without breaking any laws. Government agencies and some non-profit messaging is also permitted under the TCPA. The best way you can know that a message is an illegal robocall is if the caller is trying to sell you something. Often, scammers use robocalling to try and get unsuspecting consumers to accept offers for loan consolidation, prizes and giveaways, credit cards, and numerous other promotions. Some of these messages are legitimate, and many Americans unwittingly sign up for marketing when entering drawings or making other purchases in-person or online. Legal uses of robocalling require the telemarketing agency to provide an opt-out option. If a robocall does not include an option to stop receiving messaging from the company, it is most likely an illegal robocall!
